Hi MiDgArD,

According to the documentation, Mail::Pop3Client::Retrieve gives you the head and body of an email message, and Mail::Message::Attachment::Stripper expects a Mail::Message object in it's constructor.

You could try taking the $msg you get from Retrieve and constructing/building a Mail::Message object, like so:

...

You know, I started reading through the documentation but realized it would take me a bit more time to fully understand it, and extract the bits I would need in order to help you with your task.

I will recommend instead that you read the associated documentation that I have referenced above, and take the hints I allude to above (construct, build) to find the relevant documentation for your task of converting your message into a Mail::Messsage object. Otherwise, I would be inclined to use something I'm a bit more familiar with (or at least can state that I've used it before ;-) and give you a link for another way to carry out your task using Mime::Parser, with working code that strips jpeg attachments off of emails, though not coming through pop3 interface. That was written a long time ago, when I was first learning Mime::Parser, and thus has TONS of debugging output littered through the code. Perhaps this approach will be easier for you?

    How i can use your code? http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=525899 I have access in the mail folder to open and list al data in this folder, My mail folder is located at "/home/celflog/mail/fotolog/cur" Or if you send a simple working example ... Thank you

      I'm happy to send you my hourly rate for doing this work for you.

      Otherwise, you've got half-working code of your own, several references to what is likely wrong with it, links to the documentation wherein you will find your answers, and a completely working hunk of code using a different approach.

        Thank you for the help

        Your example at http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=525899 is very good!

        I obtained to modify for what I need
